Up at Dawn

Three kids. Three loaded down backpacks. All up at dawn. It's Back to School Time.

Contacts, wavy hair, buying lunch, 10 pound pack, three honors classes, drama, almost missed the bus, mom more nervous than daughter about the first day of Jr. High. She's amazing!


Put a shirt on, summer's over!


Played 'speed' all morning, says he doesn't want to go back to school, 5th grade, lots of friends in his class, ALP Math this year, wearing adult size shoes, forgot lunch, rode the bus.


1st Grade. Anxiety, excitement, crooked hair ("just fix it Mom"), crocodile tears (look at her eyes - poor girl.) Nice to her siblings all morning, wanted a ride to class, wouldn't let go of mom's or Jacob's (friend) hand, forgot lunch, forgot homework. Mom feels like a failure... Mom hopes she did the right thing by moving her into a different class. A few more hours and we'll know!



A quiet house. Errands done, bills paid, dishes loaded, laundry folded... Yeah, I'm missing them already. :)
